Community building and engagement: nwb coordinates paint the town and rake up boise two of the largest community revitalization programs in the pacific northwest that lend a helping hand to our senior and disabled neighbors by painting their homes and raking their yards. As home prices and property taxes increase in the boise msa and inflation is high, more elderly and disabled homeowners are unable to properly maintain their homes and yards due to financial and physical constraints. Our solution is to coordinate these annual volunteer events that: a) revitalize homes and yards to reduce health and safety hazards for these vulnerable populations, b) enhance the appearance of neighborhoods, c) statistically increase the physical and mental health of local residents and build a sense of community as they help others, and d) enable low-income senior and disabled homeowners to maintain their independence longer.paint the town - each june, hundreds of community volunteers paint and fix up the homes for senior and disabled residents in ada county.
